2009 @L´Heritage de Chasse Spleen Moulis

L'Heritage de Chasse-Spleen is produced from grapes grown on the Chateau Chasse-Spleen estate, but outside of the Moulis AOC and it thus is labeled as a Haut-Medoc AOC. These 20 hectare of vines are harvested vinified and bottled, not as an inferior wine to the Grand Vin of the estate, but as a gesture of reverence towards it.

Once part of the larger Haut-Medoc estate, Chateau Grand-Poujeaux, Chateau Chasse-Spleen saw its creation in 1822. The unusual name seems to have its roots in legend, the favourite of which is an exclamation by the poet Lord Byron during a visit in 1821, 'Quel remede pour chasser le spleen', 'what a remedy for hunting the spleen'. Poetically, Byron was insinuating that wine from this estate gave him a feeling of emotional wellbeing.

The estate was purchased by the Merlaut family in 1976, owners of several other Bordeaux wine estates, who expanded the vineyard area from 40 to 80 hectares as well as increasing vine density and modernising the winemaking facilities.
